Do rabbits like Cardoon?

Could anyone tell me if Cardoon is rabbit resistant please?
I can't see it on RHS list but it looks an unlikely candidate for being tasty to a bunny in my eyes. 
Thanks

    We sometimes get rabbits in our garden - so far the cardoons haven’t been chewed, but whether that’s because the rabbits don’t like them or because there are tastier things to eat before they get to the cardoons - your guess is as good as mine 😃

    Ha ha. They do make me cross. If they told me what they wanted for their breakfast I'd give it to them if they left my plants alone. 
    Thank you 👍

    They like nice short grass so if you want to discourage them, stop mowing your lawn.

    We have rabbits all over the place (neighbour is a compulsive lawn mower) and they haven't so far eaten cardoons. They can sometimes suddenly decide to eat something they've never touched before though, so no guarantees. They generally prefer softer greens, cardoon leaf is quite tough
